American Girl ~ Doll Ribbons

Barbie Reproduction: Barbie Learns to Cook

 There are big differences between vintage Barbie & reproduction.  Here are some differences between Barbie reproduction #1634 Barbie Learns to Cook.

Comes with a doll display in a kitchen, #1634 Barbie Learns to Cook.   The outfit comes with a dress, panties, toaster with 2 toast, tea kettle, and a large pot with lid, medium pot with lid, small pot with lid, double boiler, potholder, shoes, and cookbook.

This doll is a Swirl Barbie that is made with new hard plastic. Dolls marks as follow

Head: Mattel 1993 

Body Mark: Barbie1958 2004 Mattel Inc. China

The differences in the dishes are hard to tell they are made with the same mold.  The main difference is the vintage is not as shiny and you can sometimes see the blue under the silver sometimes.  They were made with blue plastic that is painted silver & black.   Also, the potholder is smaller.  The cookbook looks just like the vintage, so there is no way to tell if you have a vintage or reproduction.
